Greatness in you

They say today is the day.

They have long packed their stuff in anticipating of this day. They are ready and shall all leave today. "We leave before sun rise, and take the earliest train. This should get us out of here in no time!" and that was the plan. Nobody ever hesitate or objected because they could not care about leaving home. It was as if there were nothing left to be missed, only dark corners and shredded papers. It would be almost perfect for dark creatures that linger around the house, but to them this is nothing, they have darker places to go.

In them, there is this boy. He was the youngest and had no clue about life then. He was just following the crowd. He do not understand why he needs to follow them, but he remembered the dark alley where he was running away from someone, or something. And then he bumped into one of them and found safety in their arms. They did nothing much but it was weird that he found comfort with them as company.

And now there he is, in the train. He do not know where are they going for they never told him. They all had reasons not to tell him, and it has become clearer when the train reaches its first station, that Rhea and Gaea left. Then the next station comes right after Gaea steps out of the train. It was platform "986 of Tartarus" where Thea, Metis and Atlas left. He do not understand why are they not going in a crowd anymore. Neither does he understand where has all the other passengers gone to. "Did they all left at the first two stations? Did they all disappeared into thin air? Or did Chronus devour them all?", with his last thought, he looked up to Chronus and saw him licking his perfect, long, slender fingers. Those perfect fingers were obviously made for playing the piano, but he knows that Chronus sometimes use them to dig brains of his preys from their eye...

They have finally reached the next stop, Chronus steps up and walk slowly to the entrance but stops at the landing stairs. He stands for a while and turns back to look at the boy. Their eyes meet, it is not a scary look, but instead there is an aura of love and warmth emitting all around him. The train has start to move again, and Chronus is in no hurry of getting down, he smiles to the boy and then says "you are great", before jumping off the full speed train.

Now the boy is alone in the train. The rest of his crowd has disappear too and only Sally is left. She walks towards the boy and hold his hands, then talks to the boy......




They boy wakes, and find himself in the train with a few hundreds other passenger. Sally is no where to be seen, and he could not remember what happen after sally spoke to him. He only remembered she said something about something great, he could not remember what is that, that was great, but he knows that it is so unbearably great that it would make fate and faith humble. He tries to remember what is that Sally had said, but only succeed to forget more.

There he is now, in the train that he has no idea where is it heading to.
And there he is, alone with a few hundred other passenger that he wishes not to speak with
He has given up on remembering what was told, and probably has even forgot about sally or the other people.

"Today was the day" he thought.
